Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2, having Alcatel Speedtouch problems, can't connect...
Ok, so after another windows session, starting Linux and trying to connect to the net, wich did not happen, I will send attached a piece of the log file, first an older piece, but than the piece from login. I tried: modem_run -m -f /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o the answer is, driver already running something like that. I tried: pppd call adsl command unknown... Oh I have to mention, when I logged on to Linux, both the modem lights were out, I pulled the usb connection in and out and both lights were on. Thnx in advance, Roland - Original Message - From: RM.

Hi, Two days ago I installed Mandrake 8.2, because I read the support for the Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem was better than any other distro. During installation, I was delighted, because I could choose what kind of internet connection I want to use and suprisingly I could select the adsl modem, never seen this on Suse or Redhat, wich I've tried before. After installation, all I had to do was copy the mgmt.o file to /usr/share/speedtouch, so I read and I could connect to the net... I started the Mandrake config gui to configure, domain, dns, user/pass, the line was tested and for the first time in my life I could connect to the net through Linux, wich I wasn't able to do with Suse or Redhat, because of the uge install problems I surfed some on the net, shut down the pc and when I restarted it I could not reconnect again. The modem is loaded I think, because the 2 green lights are on and the line is tested no error occur I use the internet icon on the desktop to connect to the net, I click it on, I click on connect, the line is tested, than is says: connection failed and something about reconfiguring with mandrake configure.Though domain, dns, user and pass are correctly configured..

Can enyone > help me with this problem? The first thing to try (which doesn't actually require any changes to be made) is to ignore the Mandrakesoft stuff which, in my experience, doesn't quite fit together. Try: su modem_run -m -f /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o pppd call adsl and, hopefully, after about 20 seconds you should be connected.
